today announced the addition of information on 1,000 medications within its

interface making it easier for users to quickly access all iTriage features.
According to a survey released by the market research firm Knowledge Networks
and the Physicians Consulting Network, drug reference tools are some of the
most popular mobile applications among physicians. Consumers also demand
medication information as it relates to treatment of disease. Whether it is
side-effect information, drug interactions, or generic equivalents, consumers
want medication details at their fingertips. While several medication apps are
currently available on the market, iTriage offers a unique mapping of
medications to specific diseases. Once a consumer discovers a possible disease
for their symptoms using iTriage, they can then get information on the
medications prescribed for treatment of that disease. The iTriage medications
information also includes: · Conditions treated · Possible side effects · Usage
information · Common brand names · Forgotten dosage guidelines · Tips on
medication storage "Many of our users wanted this information as part of the
iTriage healthcare experience,” explained Wayne Guerra, M.D., Healthagen Chief
Medical Officer. "iTriage is about empowering consumers to make the best
healthcare decisions. Now we can help consumers connect the dots with
medications and explore options with their physicians.” The latest version of
the iTriage user interface supports demand for simplified navigation with its
new 3x3 design. This design allows users to obtain easier access from the home
screen which will increase speed and performance. Other iTriage additions
include: · Hotlines – access to key nationwide emergency hotlines, in addition
